The staff were extremely friendly nothing was too much bother. The food in the restaurant and adjoining pub was very good and the hotel was in the heart of Temple bar but tucked away so not affected by the noise.

The staff was very friendly, the location across the street from the cathedral was great. There's a pub down below the hotel with live music nightly. If you have the chance to attend Evensong mass at the church across the street, don't miss the chance.

I like the location- in walking distance of all good restaurants and attractions. It is very close to The Temple Bar area - no worry about noise. The room was very comfortable - air conditioning was good. The tv had a lot of channels The water in the shower was powerful and The temperature was easy to control. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of pillows and extra blankets.

100% Verified Reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

눉Parking was difficult to locate. We had to essentially park on the sidewalke to get to the staff to find out where to go and then truck all of our baggage across a few streets to get back to the hotel.

눉The hotel breakfast (in the 'bistro') was the worst I have ever had:
- incredibly overpriced for very little: 3 pieces of toast and 2 eggs + 1 hashbrown, priced the same as a full Irish breakfast somewhere else
- everything was cold and terrible quality (we even saw some people walk out after 1 bite)
- staff at the bistro did not seem like they knew what they were doing, even forgetting to bring us a menu in an almost empty place
